Zhao Kun was a little confused as he looked at His Majesty, who took a sip of the tea soup and sighed with a sigh on his face, and was a little confused.

But since His Majesty sighed in front of him, he must have something to complain about.

As a roundworm next to His Majesty, bah... As His Majesty's confidant for many years, Zhao Kun knew whether His Majesty wanted to be bigger or smaller as soon as the Majesty raised his hips.

So at this moment, Zhao Kun, the confidant and personal guard leader, asked in a low voice very considerately.

"Why does Your Majesty sigh so much? Could it be that there is something difficult in your heart?"

Li Shimin took another sip of tea soup. He was just idle, talking and relaxing.

"It's not difficult at all. It's just that today's meeting is really giving me a headache..."

Hearing these words, Zhao Kun's heart moved, but his expression did not change much, and he still put on a posture of listening attentively.

"Your Majesty means..."

"I have appointed Cheng Qing as the Crown Prince's Taibao. The Crown Prince has asked me to appoint Cheng Sanlang as the Grand Sun Taibao. The Crown Prince and I have not discussed it in advance. Do you believe it?"

Phew... He coughed twice, covering up the mute fart that almost came out of his mouth in time.

Zhao Kun nodded with a heroic look on his face. "I naturally trust Your Majesty in matters like this."

Haha...I understand, Your Majesty must have wanted to use me to clarify the bad rumors that His Majesty and his son were blowing the whistle.

Li Shimin looked at Zhao Kun's face, which was nearly half covered by his beard, and there was really no clue about his expression.

"But now, those ministers must think that the prince and I have colluded in advance, haha..."

Li Shimin smiled helplessly, and Zhao Kun wanted to cooperate and laugh, but he thought something was wrong. His Majesty might think he was mocking him if he smiled like this, so he held it back.

"Your Majesty, I want you to take care of these..." Zhao Kun stepped forward cooperatively, and then made a gesture of raising his hand to suppress it.

Li Shimin couldn't help rolling his eyes. If he really wanted to do such a big thing, wouldn't it be considered as deceiving others and damaging his reputation?

"No need. As the saying goes, those who are clean will themselves be clean. In the face of facts, rumors and rumors will definitely not last long."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Zhao Kun bowed to Your Majesty with a sincere look on his face. Well, that makes sense.

It seems that since he decided to make Cheng Sanlang his son-in-law, His Majesty's face has become more and more close to that of the Cheng family.

In Lu Guogong's Mansion located in Luoyang City, General Cheng, with his golden sword, was firmly on top of the case, his wine was dry, and his eyebrows were dancing.

All the old brothers are big fish and meat, no matter what, the Cheng family dinner makes people both love and hate them.

Perhaps the delicacies at Cheng's family banquet were not the best in knife skills, the presentation was not so particular, and even the color combinations were not so pleasing to the eye.

But the taste of what is in your mouth is definitely not as good as the royal banquet given by His Majesty.

Whether it is braised vegetables or stir-fried vegetables, stewed vegetables or steamed vegetables, cold dishes or hot dishes, in short, many of them are the signature dishes of Lao Cheng's family and cannot be eaten outside.

Who would have thought that the pig's mouth would be so fragrant, that the pork sausage would be so crispy and chewy, and that there would be seven or eight varieties of pig blood sausage.

It's just a pig, but that guy Cheng Sanlang will do all kinds of tricks to make you a pig and eat it.

Although everyone went to Lu Guogong's mansion, they always went in straight and came out lying down.

But in order to satisfy their appetite, everyone still enjoys it.

The theme of today's Cheng family dinner is a cow that died in an accident yesterday. It died early, not in battle that day.

This allowed the old Cheng family to avoid suspicion to the greatest extent, but they just discovered it in time and reported it to the official in time.

The fine was paid in time, the whole cow was processed in time, and it was stuffed into the ice kiln of Duke Lu's mansion in time.

"...It keeps the beef at its best freshness and tenderness. It started marinating it yesterday. I am planning to eat it by myself for three days and three nights."

"I never expected that our old Cheng family would be blessed with double happiness today. Alas...this cow died at the right time. Come on, come on, brothers, it's done."

A group of rough old men who were also full of attention winked and smiled evilly. They all raised their glasses and drank until they were dry.

If you, old Cheng, didn't know that today, His Majesty will appoint you as the crown prince and Taibao, all of you will change their surname to Cheng.

It's obvious that you and His Majesty have already cooperated so that the unlucky cow was accidentally killed in advance.

But as long as everyone knows these words well, it is rare to have such a delicious whole-ox feast a few times a year, let alone the famous Chengjia Banquet brand, which is even more rare.

"Well, I know that your old Cheng family is quite prosperous. There are two eunuchs in one family, and father and son are both eunuchs. This is probably something that has never happened before in all dynasties."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Throughout the past dynasties, the grandson was only established after the prince died.

Only in this dynasty, the Crown Prince Shang Antai, His Majesty has appointed a grandson. Otherwise, you can’t give the position of Crown Prince and Taibao to two people, right?"

Seeing that everyone had brought the topic to the subject of two eunuchs, General Cheng was pleased, but he also knew that he could not continue to dwell on this topic.

If everyone is not happy, they will drink to drown their sorrows for a while, and maybe something bad will happen. I can't be warmed up just by being appointed Crown Prince and Prince Protector by His Majesty.

Being impeached by those green-eyed civil servants, General W Cheng smiled heartily and slapped the case several times.

"Everyone... this year, the dolls of our old brothers are quite capable."

"At the Luoyang Peony Festival, our old brothers' children showed off their talents and swept away all the talents from the Central Plains. It was very satisfying. Come and do one."

After hearing this suggestion, all the elders couldn't help but beam with joy, raised their hands and shouted loudly.

And Xue Wanche, who has already given birth to the eldest princess, has a baby who is just three years old, and has not yet taken off the butt curtain.

I can't help but feel sad. If I had known the benefits of passing down poems and books to my family, I should have gotten married earlier.

Let the little baby grow up as soon as possible, and at least he can get a reputation as a heirloom of poems and books.

Yuchi Gong on the side also took a big sip of wine with a happy face.

"It's a pity that the "Luoyang Peony Collection" is too poorly printed, and a certain company is not short of money.

I wonder if I should have a good chat with the old Zheng family later."

"It's just that the Zheng family must not be happy that our juniors are better than them, so they deliberately print less."

"That makes sense. Let's go back and have a chat with their Zheng family."

At this moment, Li Ji rolled his eyes. "What are you talking about? If you want to talk, just go to that guy Cheng Sanlang."

"Don't forget, everyone, not only does the Zheng family have a printing shop, but Princess Jinyang also has such an industry."

In an instant, both pairs of moves were in full swing, and they all looked at Cheng Yaojin.
